Notations made in pen throughout text of play, ; Signet Classics; Doctor Faustus was probably written in 1592, although the exact date of its composition is uncertain, since it was not published until a decade later. The idea of an individual selling his or her soul to the devil for knowledge is an old motif in Christian folklore, one that had become attached to the historical persona of Johannes Faustus, a disreputable astrologer who lived in Germany sometime in the early 1500s. The immediate source of Marlowe’s play seems to be the anonymous German work Historia von D. Iohan Fausten of 158... View more info

Notations throughout. ; The Pelican Shakespeare; Edited by Stephen Orgel Macbeth is a tragedy and is considered one of Shakespeare's darkest and most powerful works.

The earliest account of a performance of what was probably Shakespeare's play is the Summer of 1606, when Simon Forman recorded seeing such a play at the Globe Theatre. Macbe... View more info

Penguin Classics; Translated by Robert Fagles. Introductions and Notes by Bernard Knox.
